Thought you might want to take a gander.

 

That's pretty cool. When will the new mustang be available?

 

Hey Dude Formerly known as Jeru:

That's one sweet looking machine. Do you have any performance / engine specs?

Mike

 

I think its sick even though I am not a Mustangfan...the new shape is just very-well styled
Nice titanium brembos...

 

Wow, now thats cool!! This is a great time to be into cars.

 

stephen, there are certainly a lot of parallels to the oil crisis and hp wars in muscle cars (not to mention iraq/vietnam) in the 70s, eh. let's hope it doesn't all end the same this time too.

 

I like the look of the car except for that wing on the back. Too rice for my taste.

 

Here's the story, and specs.
NEW YORK, April 7, 2004 – The muscular Ford Mustang GT-R rekindles the legend’s road racing glory and the magic of 5.0-liter Mustangs in a stunning racing concept making its world debut today. The Mustang GT-R signals a potential future race car, while honoring four decades of performance glory just days before Mustang’s 40th anniversary.

"The Mustang GT-R blends today’s breathtaking design, Ford Racing’s unmatched history and the most advanced racing technology into the ultimate Mustang," says J Mays, Ford group vice president, design. "Mustang’s iconic image grew with every checkered flag so we think the Mustang GT-R is an appropriate tribute to the car’s 40th anniversary, and a hint at what’s to come."

The bright Valencia Orange car – inspired by the famous Grabber Orange 1970 Mustang Boss 302 Trans-Am race cars (the Yellow Mustangs) piloted by race legends, including Parnelli Jones – is a technological showcase that, when peeled back, reveals a number of existing or production-feasible racing parts.

"The Mustang GT-R shows that Ford is back in road racing in a serious way," says Jim O’Connor, Ford group vice president, North America marketing, sales and service.

I just got back from the show and really liked it -- The "normal" Mustang GT is a great looking car. I have a 1967 Shelby GT-500 and it really captures the essence of the 65-68 Mustangs quite well.

Got to chat with Carroll Shelby too. Looks great for a guy in his 80s with a new heart!

 

More Pics.

 

I think its sweet!!! Can't wait till the new body style cobras come out. It is going to have a whipple S/C from the factory. Supposedly the car is going to have 500 hp and 500 tq STOCK...and have a 1/4 mile time of 12.1 @ 117 bone stock...I think my 03 will have to morph into one of those.

 

I want to hear that baby purr.

 

Me and erik just returned from press day @ NYC auto show, that mustang is bad ***.

 

Don't just hope. Vote for the right guy to see it through

 

What? No cross drilling?
